I''ve been searching our Innovative WebPAC pretty successfully for a couple 
of years, using several PalmOS browsers.  Not surprisingly, the few 
functions it just plain can't do are the ones that have the most erroneous 
markup (forms with no action are the most common culprits).  A lot of pages 
would benefit from getting away from table markup, but they work.
